°'" ERVICE 



NEW YORK, 80UTHflMPT0N.^'HflMBURG. 



THE fleet of Twin-Screw Steamships 
of the Hamburg-American Packet 
Company now consists of the 
Augusta-Victoria and Furst Bismarck, 
built by the Vulcan Shipbuilding Co. in 
Stettin ; the Columbia, built by Laird 
Bros, in Birkenhead on the Mersey, and 
the NoRMANNiA, built by John Elder & 
Co. in Govan, Scotland, and with these 
vessels the Hamburg-American Packet 
Company maintains a weekly Express 
Service, offering the American public 
the convenience of reaching England 
and the European Continent with abso- 
lute safety, in the shortest possible time, 
and with a degree of comfort as yet 
unexcelled. 

These magnificent new steamers have 
from the start attracted general attention 
in Europe and America on account of 
their construction as well as their mar- 
velous achievements. The twin-screw 
system, and with it the division of the 
ship into two halves, each equipped with 
a complete set of machinery, proved a 
great success, and obtained results 
beyond anything previously achieved. 
The problem which the owners and 
designers intended to solve in building 
these vessels was to produce ships 
which would offer absolute safety, and, 
at the same time, be able to make the 
swiftest voyages with the greatest com- 
fort to the passengers. To realize this 
they spared neither trouble nor expense, 
and have now the satisfaction of seeing 



before them, in their new steamers, 
models of the latest phase of marine 
architecture, advancing far beyond any- 
thing previously attempted ; as beautiful 
in outline as they are practical in their 
interior arrangements, and absolutely 
perfect in the three requirements of 
modern ocean travel, 

SAFETY, SPEED and COMFORT. 
What first strikes the observer are the 
graceful lines which run from the sharp, 
straight stem to the well-rounded stern. 
Three funnels rise from the hurricane 
deck, which, although of huge dimen- 
sions, only serve to bring out the sym- 
metry of the whole. The AuGUSTA- 
ViCTORiA and Columbia have three 
masts, the Normannia and FiJRST Bis- 
marck two, which are low and without 
yards, so as to offer the least resistance. 
So beautiful are the lines of these ships 
that it is difficult for the spectator to 
realize their immense size. These 
leviathans have a length of 465 to 510 
feet, a width of 56 to 58 feet, and a depth 
of 38 to 40 feet; are of 7,363 to 8,874 
tons register, and their engines develop 
the force of 13,000 to 16,000 horses. 
They have five decks, constructed sol- 
idly of steel and teak wood, the upper 
decks ending in strong turtle-backs at 
the bow and stern. 



SAFETY. 



THE first consideration which the 
builders had in view was that of 
absolute safety, and they have built 
ships which are practically unsinkable. 
Many novel features have been intro- 
duced to bring this about, of which the 
principal ones are here set forth : 

A steamer, as litherto constructed, had 
its boiler and engine, its shaft and screw ; 



but these new vessels have their whole 
working machinery duplicated. There 
are two distinct sets of boilers, two en- 
gines, two shafts and two screws, both 
sets working independently of each 
other, and separated by a longitudinal 
bulkhead dividing the vessel into two 
non-communicating halves, of which 
each is fully equipped to propel the 
ship. This is the great principle of the 
twin-screw steamers, and the extraor- 
dinary degree of safety secured by this 
system is obvious, for an accident to 
one side of the ship can in no wise affect 
the other, whose machinery will con- 
tinue to work and propel the ship with 
perfect ease, and at a high rate of 
speed. 

Each side of the ship is again sub- 
divided into numerous water-tight com- 
partments which do not communicate 
with each other. The hull of the ship 
has a double bottom, the space between 
being divided into chambers, which can 
be filled with water or emptied by means 
of automatic pumps, thus increasing or 
decreasing the draught at will, and 
guarding against accidents from ground- 
ing. 

The enormous engines of 6,500 to 
8,000 horse-power each, making a total 
of 13,000 to 16,000 horse-power, are of 
the triple-expansion type, and construc- 
ted of the finest steel. 

The screws are of manganese bronze, 
with three or four blades of 18 feet 
diameter and 32 feet pitch. The bosses 
are of steel and are 4 feet 6 inches in 
diameter. 

SPEED. 

HTHESE steamers must be counted 

* among the fastest ships afloat. The 

best time accomplished was 6 days ii 

hours 44 minutes from New York to 



Southampton, being the fastest. trip ever 
made between these two ports. This is 
equal to a trip of 5 days 20 hours from 
New York to Queenstown, Southampton 
being about 300 miles east from Queens- 
town. The time by rail from Southamp- 
ton to London is less than 2 hours, while 
the time from Queenstown, via Liver- 
pool, to London, is at best over 24 
hours. The landing arrangements at 
Southampton are considered superior 
to those of any other port in England, 
the trains starting from the docks 
and the Hamburg-American Packet 
Company's special trains awaiting the 
passengers there. During the past year 
these steamers have maintained a regu- 
lar fast weekly Express Service between 
New York, Southampton and Hamburg, 
taking passengers to London within 7 
days, and to Hamburg within 8 days, 
while the actual average ocean passage 
is reduced to a little more than 6 days. 
This line, according to the annual report 
of the U. S. Superintendent of Foreign 
Mails, takes the first place over all others 
in the conveyance of the mails between 
New York and London. Their great 
regularity is indicated by the fact that 
almost all trips were made within a 
margin of a few hours. The arrival at 
New York, Southampton or Hamburg 
can therefore be easily forecast. 

Passengers leaving New York on 
Thursday are landed in Southampton 
on the following Thursday, reaching 
London on the ^ame day, thus bringing 
them from New York to London in 
less than a week (it has been done in 
6 days 14 hours, a feat not equaled by 
any other line). This shows the won- 
derful convenience which these steamers 
offer to the traveling public. 

The fastest runs were about 20^ 
knots per hour, which is equal to 23^^ 



— 7- 

EngHsh miles, and exceeds the speed of 
transcontinental trains.

COMFORT. 

'T'HE comfort and elegance displayed 
' on these steamers are unsurpassed. 
The large and luxurious saloons, the 
ladies' boudoirs, the music and smoking 
rooms and the staterooms generally are 
fitted up in magnificent style, the best 
European artists having been retained 
to design, decorate and furnish them. 
It has been the aim of the Company to 
relieve passengers of all annoyances 
which were heretofore considered in- 
separable from a sea voyage, and pro- 
vide for them the same accommodations 
that can be obtained in a first-class hotel. 
Among the many improvements con- 
tributing to the passengers' comfort 
will be found larger and more commo- 
dious staterooms, with most luxurious 
toilet conveniences and large beds, 
thorough methods of ventilation, ample 
deck-room for exercise, spacious dining- 
saloons, ladies' saloon on the promenade 
deck, also a large music-room, the ab- 
sence of all offensive odors or noises, 
and a complete and first-class service 
throughout, with the conveniences of 
barber shop, bath and toilet rooms, etc. 



No Overcrowding. — There is no 
overcrowding on these steamers, the 
number of passengers being limited to 
the seating capacity. 



The HAMBDRG-flMERlCAH PACKET GO.'S 

jQfiditerraiieaii Express Lme. 

BETWEEN 

NEW YORK, ALGIERS, NAPLES and GENOA. 



|URING the winter months the mag- 
nificent twin-screw express steam- 
ers of the Hamburg -American 
Packet Co. sail from New York through 
the Straits of Gibraltar to Algiers, Naples 
and Genoa, thus avoiding the rigors of 
the North Atlantic in winter. By this 
route passengers can reach all parts of 
Spain and Portugal, Southern France, 
Italy, Switzerland and Tyrol, as well as 
North Africa and the Orient, with safe- 
ty, speed and comfort. 

The route to Gibraltar is south of 
the latitude of New York, Gibraltar 
being lat. 36° 6' 30" N., and the distance 
is not much greater than that to South- 
ampton. The trip is made in about 
seven days. 

The Straits of Gibraltar are entered 
off Cape Trafalgar, where the shores of 
Europe and Africa gradually approach 
each other. In a short time the famous 
fortress of Gibraltar rises from the sea 
and captivates the eye. 

AL.GIERS. 

Algiers offers a beautiful panorama as 
it rises in steep terraces from the well- 
sheltered bay which is hardly inferior 
to that of Naples. Algiers has of late 
years become a great resort for invalids, 



and especially the consumptive or deli- 
cate, to winter in, on account of the 
lovely climate, which, from October to 
March, is as warm as an English sum- 
mer, and equal, if not superior, to that 
of Egypt. Frost is not known, and snow 
is seen only on the distant mountains. 
Mean winter temp. 55°, annual 64!°. 

The Old Town has curious native streets, some 
not more than four feet wide, and fearfully 
steep. It is clean and picturesque, abounding 
in specimens of Moorish architecture, shops, 
and bazaars; and surrounded by the old Kas- 
bah at the top. Caroba, oriental plane, wild 
olive, and eucalyptus are the trees chiefly seen. 
There is a fish market with all kinds of Medi- 
terranean fish of most brilliant colors. Grapes 
are good, green peas and new potatoes may be 
had at Christmas ; dates, bananas and oranges 
are plentiful all the winter season. 

Ot the Mosques the oldest is Djama-el-Kebir 
(the Great) of the loth century. There is also a 
cathedral, formerly a mosque, with the Arch- 
bishop's palace in an old Moorish house. 

The roads are excellent,and excursions should 
be made to the Roman antiquities of Cherchell, 
ancient Csesarea, the Mauritanian capital, de- 
stroyed by the Vandals, and to Hammam Belnan 
(21 m.), one of the valuable hot mineral baths, or 
hammams, which abound here. 

An excursion into the surrounding country 
will give an idea of the great fertility of the land 
and the luxuriance of its vegetation. Every inch 
of ground is cultivated, and olive, fig and orange 
groves abound. A visit to Blidah, a town about 
one hour by rail from the city, at the foot of the 
Atlas Mountains, will show the traveler thatthis 
part of Algiei-s is not a colony in the proper 
sense of the term, but a rich and industrious 
province. Near Blidah is the magnificent gorge 
of the river Chiffa, well worth a visit for its own 
sake as well as on account of the large number 
of monkeys that live there, wild and unmolested, 
crowding the trees and slopes and amusing 
visitors with their antics. 

The Hamburg - American Express 
Steamers stop only a short time at 
Algiers, and after landing passengers 
proceed to Naples. The trip occupies 
about ii^ days, making the passage 
from New York to Naples about nine 
days only. 



— 10 — 
NAPLES. 

Passing the celebrated islands of Ischia 
and Capri, the steamer casts anchor in 
the magnificent bay of Naples, which 
from the most ancient times has been 
the object of enthusiastic admiration. 

From Naples the railway takes pas- 
sengers in five hours to Rome, the 
"Mistress of the World," with its count- 
less treasures of art. 

Brindisi can be reached in a little over 
ten hours ; from here the Peninsular 
and Oriental steamers start for India, 
via the Suez Canal, upon arrival of the 
"Indian Mail" train from London. 

Naples has frequent steamboat con- 
nection with Messina, Palermo and other 
points in Sicily, but Messina can also be 
reached via Reggio, which has direct 
railway connection with Naples. The 
fine steamships of the Messageries Mari- 
times leave Naples every Saturday 
direct for Alexandria ; the time of pas- 
sage is 4}^ days. 

The Hamburg- American Packet 
Co.'s Express Steamer, after a short 
stay at Naples, continues on its way to 

GENOA, 

which is reached the following day. 

Genoa is the most convenient starting- 
point for the health-resorts of the Rivi- 
era, viz., Pegli, San Remo, Bordighera, 
Mentone, Monaco, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, 
Fr6jus, Hyeres, etc. Marseilles is only 
about thirteen hours distant, whence 
many interesting excursions may be 
made to the venerable cities of the 
Provence, abounding in remains of 
Roman antiquity. A direct line runs 
from here to Toulouse, the ancient cap- 
ital of Languedoc, whence all parts of 
the Pyrenees and the spas of Bagneres- 
de-Bigorre, Bagneres-de-Luchon, Eaux- 
Bonnes, Eaux-Chaudes, as well as Pau, 



are within easy reach. Marseilles has 
daily connection with Algiers. 

From Genoa travelers can take the 
Montcenis Tunnel route for Aix-les- 
Bains, Geneva, Lyons, etc., while by 
the Gotthard Tunnel Line they can reach 
the heart of Switzerland within half a 
day. The Italian lakes, whose incom- 
parable beauty has been extolled by 
countless poets and writers since the 
time of Virgil, are only a few hours dis- 
tant from Genoa, and the historical cities 
of Upper Italy and Tuscany — Turin, 
Milan, Verona, Padua, Venice, Pavia, 
Cremona, Mantua, Parma, Modena, 
Bologna, Pisa, Siena, Leghorn and Flor- 
ence — containing innumerable treasures 
of the most perfect creations of genius, 
are also within convenient reach. One 
of the most delightful trips in Europe is 
from Genoa via the Italian Lakes over 
the Stelvio pass into the Tyrol. The 
varied beauty of scenery along this 
route is generally acknowledged to have 
no superior anywhere.

STEAMERS: 

Dania, Gellert, Qothia, Moravia, Rhaetia, 

Rugia, Russia, Scandia, Slavonia, 

5uevia, Venetia, Virginia, 

Wieland, etc. 



ALL the steamers for this service have 
been built by the most famous ship- 
builders in Europe, and are con- 
structed of the best wrought iron and 
steel. They have water-tight compart- 
ments, with all of which the pumps are 
connected, and are provided with patent 
steam-steering apparatus, all necessary 
donkey engines for lifting, pumping, 



— 12- 

etc, a distilling apparatus supplying 
fresh and pure water daily, and electric 
lights and bells. 

These steamers have several extras 
above the highest rating in the Bureau 
Veritas. They perform a regular service 
between the United States and Germany, 
stopping at Havre, France, on their 
return to New York, and are great 
favorites among the traveling public on 
account of the many advantages which 
they offer. 

They carry only First Cabin and 
Steerage passengers, and in the accom- 
modations nothing has beeai omitted that 
could promote comfort. The commo- 
dious staterooms are all on the same 
main deck, thus ensuring those greatest 
luxuries at sea — perfect ventilation and 
light. They are heated by steam and 
fitted up in an improved manner. 
There are staterooms for ladies traveling 
alone, piano, library, smoking and card 
rooms for gentlemen, bath-rooms, etc. 

The kitchens are on the upper deck, 
thereby avoiding all obnoxious odors. 

Neither cattle, pigs nor sheep are car- 
ried on any of the passenger steamers of 
the Line. 

Passengers wishing to obtain at a 
moderate price the comforts of large, 
airy rooms, elegant saloons, polite and 
prompt attendance, and — last, but not 
least — excellent meals, will find complete 
satisfaction on these steamers. 



Hambufg-Baltimore Liqe. 

'p HIS service is performed by the 
• steamers of the Hamburg- American 
Packet Co. The line does not need 
any other recommendation. Particular 
attention is called to the cheap railroad 
fares between Baltimore and the West. 



OFFICERS. 

Tj^HE vessels of the Hamburg-Ameri- 
* CAN Packet Co. are manned by 
officers who have been in the Company's 
employ for years and whose seamanship 
has been thoroughly tested during many 
trying voyages ; the strict discipline 
maintained on these vessels comparing 
favorably with that on board of a man- 
of-war. 

Before entering the employ of the 
Company all officers have to pass two rig- 
orous examinations in nautical schools, 
and, in accordance with the Company's 
system of promotion, have to work their 
way up from inferior positions in the 
service. All captains in command have 
obtained their positions in this manner, 
and no apoointments to this important 
post are made unless the officer has had 
long experience in the service and has 
given ample proof of his thorough qual- 
ification for the efficient fulfillment of 
his responsible duties. It would, per- 
haps, be difficult to present a more 
striking proof of the seaman-like quali- 
ties and the high character of the Com- 
pany's officers than is furnished by the 
fact that the steamships of this line have 
been so frequently the means of saving 
the lives of shipwrecked sailors at sea. 

The express steamers are manned 
by 340-350 men, divided as follows : 

I Captain. 

I Chief Enj^ineer. 

I Chief Officer. 

12 Officers, Physicians and Pursers, 
u Petty Officers. 
23 Engineers and Assistants. 
30 Sailors.

l\ir)is to Travelers. 

The steamers of the Hamburg- 
American Packet Co. sail from the 

HAMBURG RIERS, 

foot of First Street, in Hoboken, adjoin- 
ing the New York Ferries. The Lacka- 
wanna, the West Shore, the Erie, the 
Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia & 
Reading Railroad Companies all termi- 
nate on that side of the Hudson, in 
close proximity to the Hamburg Docks. 
Hoboken is reached from New York by the 
Barclay Street Ferry (down-town) or the 
Christopher Street Ferry (up-town), both 
landing at the same place in Hoboken, 
adjoining the Hamburg Piers. 



THE EXPRESS STEAMERS 

leave New York every Thursday for 
Southampton and Hamburg, and Ham- 
burg every Thursday, touching at South- 
ampton on Friday. 

Passengers are booked through to 
London without extra charge. Through 
tickets to or from Paris at low rates. 

During the winter months the Express 
Steamers sail from New York for Naples 
and Genoa. 

THE REGULAR STEAMERS 

leave New York regularly Saturdays 
and every alternate Tuesday direct for 
Hamburg. 

Returning, the steamers sailing from 
Hamburg on Sundays touch at Havre on 
their way to New York. Departure from 
Havre on Tuesdays. Cabin passengers 
will be forwarded from Southampton or 
London to Havre at the Company's ex- 
pense. Through tickets from Paris at 
reduced rates. 

Steamers leaving Hamburg on Wed- 
nesday sail direct for New York. 

BERTHS. 

In order to secure berths favorably 
located, it is at all times advisable, but 
particularly during the spring and sum- 
mer season, to apply as early as possible 
to the General Passage Offices of the 
Hamburg - American Packet Co., 37 
Broadway, New York, or 125 La Salle 
Street, Chicago, or to one of their 
numerous agents in any of the principal 
cities of the United States and Canada. 
They will send those contemplating a 
journey, upon application, a cabin plan 
of the steamer the passenger wishes to 
take, with the vacant berths or rooms 
marked, from which he can choose. 

Cabin berths are not considered engaged 
unless secured by payment of ^2^ for 
each berth. The full amount i/iust be paid 



— 16 — 

three tveeks before sailings and if the 
passage money is not then paid the berths 
will be otherzvise disposed of. 

During the traveling season, passen- 
gers desiring the exclusive use of a 
whole room must pay two fares. The 
same price must be paid by an adult 
and one child for a whole room. At other 
seasons children between one and twelve 
years pay half-price, and infants under 
one year are free. 

RETURN ACCOMMODATION 

in cabin from Hamburg or Southampton 
can be engaged by mail or by telegraph, 
the latter at the passenger's expense. 
An allowance of 10 PER CENT, 
of the RETURN FARE will be 
made if ROUND-TRIP tickets are 
purchased before departure from 
New York. Owing to the great de- 
mand for berths from Europe during 
the season it is advisable to secure the 
return accommodation before starting 
for Europe. It will save extended cor- 
respondence, and there will be no disap- 
pointment in finding the rooms wanted 
already disposed of. When accommo- 
dation has been reserved in this way, 
the return ticket must be paid for before 
departure from New York. 

Passengers holding Return Tickets at 
winter rates will be required to pay the 
difference between winter and summer 
rates if they return from Europe during 
the traveling season, while passengers 
holding Return Tickets at summer rates, 
but returning from Europe out of sea- 
son, will have the difference between 
summer and winter rates refunded to 
them. 

SERVANTS. 

On the Express Steamers servants 
accompanying first cabin passengers 
pay second cabin fare, and receive 



— 17 — 

accommodation in a second cabin state- 
room ; they have, however, access to the 
first cabin. If passengers desire them 
to be berthed in first cabin, the regular 
fare for the berth occupied must be paid. 
On the Regular Steamers servants pay 
$45 each way. 

BAGGAGE. 

Passenger's baggage can be sent to 
the Hamburg Piers, Hoboken, N. J., 
a few days in advance, and will be kept 
in the baggage-room there until claimed 
by the passenger. All baggage must be 
marked plainly with the name of pas- 
senger and steamer. Tags and labels 
can be obtained from the Company's 
agents. Cabin passengers are allowed 
20 cubic feet of baggage free of charge. 
Passengers arriving in New York by 
train or boat can have their trunks 
checked direct to the Hamburg Pier in 
Hoboken by the Baggage Express Agent, 
who meets incoming passengers. All 
articles wanted during the voyage should 
be put in a valise or steamer trunk. The 
latter must not exceed 12 inches in 
height, to find room under the sofas 
in the staterooms. 

Embarking at Southampton for 
Ne"w York. — Passengers desirous of 
storing their baggage at Southampton, 
either before embarkation or on disem- 
barking, can do so by forwarding it or 
delivering it with instructions to the 
agents. Smith, Sundius&Co., 4 Oriental 
Place, Southampton. 

Embarking at Hamburg for New 
York. — Passengers can send their bag- 
gage to the Company in Hamburg in 
advance. Such baggage will be stored 
in the Company's Baggage Rooms, at 
the passenger depot, Grosser-Grasbrook. 
All baggage not wanted during the trip 
must be sent to the same depot on the 
day before sailing, and passengers must 



call there with their tickets to have the 
baggage checked to New York." 

AH stateroom baggage can be taken 
aboard the train, which leaves Venlo 
station in Hamburg generally at 8.40 
A. M. on the day of sailing, conveying 
passengers and their baggage free of 
charge to Cuxhaven, where the Express 
Steamer is boarded. 

Passengers by steamers of the Regular 
Service leave by tender direct from the 
passenger depot, Grosser-Grasbrook. 

STEWARDS. 

Trained Stewards and Stewardesses, 
speaking English and German, attend 
to the wants of passengers. 

PHYSICIAN. 

An experienced Physician is attached 
to every steamer. For medical attend- 
ance and medicines no charge is made, 
although cabin passengers, as a rule, 
remunerate the doctor for service ren- 
dered. 

BATHS. 

Comfortable bath-rooms are provided 
in first as well as in second cabin ; the 
bedroom stewards will attend to the 
bath upon the passenger's request. 

MEALS. 

Breakfast is served from about 8 A.M., 
lunch about 12.30 P.M., dinner about 6 
p. M., and tea at 8 P. M. A menu is 
printed for each meal. 

Children under 12 years of age and 
nurses are served separately. 

CUISINE. 

The Hamburg - American Packet 
Company has always been well known 
for the excellent fare provided. The 
best culinary artists have been engaged 



— 19 — 

as cooks, and the menu on these steamers 
is equal to that served in the best hotels 
in Europe. Wines, liquors and cigars, 
carefully selected by the Company, are 
are of the finest quality, and are sold at 
moderate prices. 

SEATS AT TABLE. 

Passengers will have their seats allotted 
to them by the Chief Steward immedi- 
ately after leaving the docks. 

BOOTS AND SHOES 

will be cleaned if left outside the room 
door. 

VALUABLES. 

The Company is not responsible for 
theft if valuables are kept in the state- 
rooms. A safe is provided in the office 
of the Purser, to whom money, jewelry, 
etc., may be handed for safe-keeping. 

Paper, Envelopes, Stamps, etc. 

Writing paper, envelopes, stamps and 
telegraph forms may be had on applica- 
tion to the saloon steward. 

STEAMER CHAIRS 

For use on decks can be hired from the 
Ocean Comfort Co. at $i per chair for 
the trip. Orders for chairs may be 
obtained at our offices or from our 
agents. 

DRESS. 

The matter of dress at sea requires 
more than a passing thought, and to 
ladies especially the question of what to 
wear and what not to wear involves 
considerations both weighty and vexa- 
tious. 

Ladies should adopt a costume easily 
adjusted, and for comfort and general 
utility a dress of dark-blue flannel, serge 
or waterproof cloth, with a sacque of 
the same material, will be found to 



answer all purposes. A little lead or 
shot in the hem of the dress should not 
be overlooked, as there is always more 
or less wind when at sea. Thick boots, 
hoods, or close-fitting h^ts, together 
with thick veils, should not be forgotten. 

Gentlemen will find warm clothing 
and an overcoat in order for an Atlantic 
passage. A suit of old clothes to lounge 
around the deck without fear of spoiling, 
and a soft felt hat or smoking-cap will 
be found serviceable. 

It must be remembered that a state- 
room was never designed for the pur- 
pose of indulging in an elaborate toilet. 

By all means avoid numerous bun- 
dles and parcels. Continental railroads 
allow at best but fifty-six pounds of 
baggage and charge heavily for every 
pound in excess. It is, therefore, ad- 
visable to avoid the heavy Saratoga 
trunks, and to take instead light wooden 
or wicker trunks, covered with thin 
leather or canvas. A small steamer 
trunk, for use during the voyage, will 
be found almost indispensable. 

MAILS. 

A letter-box will be found near the 
Purser's room, into which letters can be 
put. German postage-stamps may be 
obtained from the Purser ; they are good 
for all letters posted aboard the steamer. 
Telegrams to be forwarded should be 
handed the Purser and charges paid to 
him. 

Letters and telegrams for passengers 
are placed on one of the saloon tables. 

MONEY. 

The safest and most convenient way 
of carrying money abroad to meet ex- 
penses is in the form of drafts, circular 
letters of credit, or of circular notes, and 
money can thus be obtained at any one of 



the principal cities of the civilized world. 
Tourists should be careful to deal only 
with bankers of undoubted standing. 

Emil L, Boas, Foreign Banker, 37 
Broadway, New York, and 125 La Salle 
St., Chicago, will issue drafts on Europe, 
circular notes and circular letters of credit. 

Attention is called to the convenience 
which circular notes offer to European 
travelers. These notes are payable on 
demand at all the principal cities of 
Europe in the currency of the country 
where presented, each note being issued 
for ;i^io sterling, or its equivalent. But 
besides the handy way of carrying funds, 
which these circular notes offer, the 
great point in their favor is their safety, 
for, in consequence of the system of 
endorsement employed, no one can 
cash them but the person knowing the 
special word of identification given. 

Before embarking for Europe, travel- 
ers should provide themselves with 
foreign coin sufficient to pay incidental 
expenses on landing. 

It may be well to add that English 
sovereigns and Bank of England notes 
are readily taken everywhere in Europe. 
French Napoleons are also good money, 
especially in the East. 

PASSPORTS. 

While passports are not at present 
really required by travelers in Europe, 
except for visiting Russia, Roumania, 
Bulgaria and Turkey, they are at the 
same time frequently useful in order to 
obtain admission to certain museums, to 
obtain letters sent Poste Restante and to 
establish identity whenever required. 

Passports can be procured from Wash- 
ington for such as desire them within 
forty-eight hours. The Government 
charges a fee of $1.00, while notary's 
and other fees amount to $2,00 more.

LONDON. 

The Express Steamers touch at 
Southampton on their way to Hamburg 
to land passengers and mail. Passengers 
are transferred at Southampton to the 
Hamburg-American Line's special train 
and forwarded to London free of charge. 
The trip occupies less than two hours, 
and trains arrive at Waterloo station in 
London. 

The landing arrangements at South- 
ampton are considered superior to those 
of any other port in England, the trains 
starting from the docks direct. 

The Hamburg - American Packet 
Co.'s offices in London are 22 Cockspur 
Street, S. W., and 158 Leadenhall Street. 

New York Newspaper Offices in London : 

Herald, Trafalgar Buildings, North- 
umberland Ave. 

World, 32 Cockspur Street.

Square, W. 

PARIS. 

Paris can be reached from Southamp- 
ton either via London or via Havre. 
Passengers going via London have the 
choice of three routes, viz., via Dover- 
Calais, Folkestone-Boulogne, or New- 
haven-Dieppe. The first route has the 
fastest and finest train (the so-called 
Club Train), equipped with parlor and 
dining cars, making the trip in 7^ hours. 

Through tickets to or from Paris may 
be obtained at the Hamburg-American 
Packet Company's General Passage 
Offices at reduced rates. 

The time via Havre is about 12 hours. 
The steamers of the London & South- 
western Railway leave the landing at 
Southampton for Havre (or vice versa) 
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 



— 23 — 

evening, reaching Havre the following 
morning. During the summer season 
there is daily connection. 

The Hamburg -American Packet 
Company's offices in Havre are i Place 
du Commerce, and in Paris 3 Rue Scribe. 

HAMBURG. 

After landing passengers and mail in 
Southampton, the steamer immediately 
proceeds to Hamburg, which is reached 
in about 24 hours. Express Steamers* 
passengers are landed at Cuxhaven, 
whence a special railroad train takes 
them to Hamburg. Hamburg is a city 
of over 500,000 inhabitants, the principal 
commercial emporium of the continent 
of Europe, and one of its most beautiful 
towns. It is one of the most important 
railroad centres, and has frequent and 
direct trains to all parts of the Conti- 
nent. A fast express train service has 
of late been opened from Hamburg to 
the principal cities of the interior, the 
time to Berlin having been reduced to 
3^hours, etc. 

Embarking for New York, passen- 
gers board the Express Steamer at 
Cuxhaven at the mouth of the Elbe. The 
Company's special train leaves the 
Venlo station at Hamburg on the morn- 
ing of the day of sailing, generally at 
8.40 A.M., conveying passengers and 
their baggage free of charge to the 
steamer. Representatives of the Com- 
pany are at the station one hour before 
departure of the train to assist passengers 
and give any information that may be 
required. They also accompany the 
train to Cuxhaven. 

Passengers by the steamers of the 
Regular Service embark at the passen- 
ger depot, Grosser-Grasbrook, where 
representatives of the Company are also 
in attendance.

Through Tickets To and From 

Railway Stations on the 

Continent of Europe. 

By special arrangement with the Con- 
tinental railways, the Hamburg-Ameri- 
can Packet Co. is able to' sell through 
ticketstoany railway station in Germany, 
Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy, 
and from such stations to the United 
States. 

These tickets are only sold in connec- 
tion with ocean passage by one of the 
steamers of the Hamburg-American 
Packet Co., and are good for one year 
from date of issue. The tickets are ac- 
cepted on the trains, thus avoiding the 
necessity of obtaining funds on arrival, 
saving delay at the station and accom- 
modating those who are not proficient 
in the foreign languages. These tickets 
give stop-over privileges at any interme- 
diate station. Circular tours through 
Europe can also be arranged in this 
way, covering the tourists' route on the 
Continent. It is needless further to point 
out in particular the many advantages 
which this system offers to American 
travelers. The tickets may be obtained 
at the General Passage Oflfices of the 
Hamburg-American Packet Co., 37 
Broadway, New York, and 125 La Salle 
St., Chicago, or from any one of the 
Company's American agents. 

IN FOREIGN PARTS. 

On landing in Europe the traveler's 
baggage will be examined, but Custom 
Houses in Europe are not as difficult to 
pass as in America. Spirits, tobacco and 
cigars are -the articles mainly looked for, 
and if any are found that have not been 
declared, they will be confiscated. 



Second-class hotels in Europe are far 
better than those of the same grade in 
America; they are plain and simple, 
but excellent in their way. 

RAILWAY Traveling in Europe. 

There are generally three classes of 
carriages on the European railways. 
The first-class is luxuriously furnished ; 
but second-class carriages are also very 
comfortable, especially in Germany, 
and this is so well understood that mixed 
tickets are sold for long journeys, en- 
titling the holder to first-class in other 
countries and second-class in Germany. 
Third-class carriages are generally neat 
and clean, but have no cushions. This 
class is frequented by the general public 
for short journeys. 

Nearly every train has compartments 
exclusively for ladies. In England, 
France and Italy smoking is forbidden, 
except in compartments specially desig- 
nated for that purpose. In Germany 
and Austria smoking is allowed in all 
carriages save those where it is for- 
bidden, and these are labeled "Fvir 
Nichtraucher." 

LUGGAGE. 

The allowance of luggage varies 
greatly. In England it is loo pounds ; 
in most continental countries it averages 
fifty pounds; in Bavaria, Belgium, Italy, 
and in most parts of Switzerland there is 
no allowance. The charge for excessive 
luggage is high ; all hand-baggage is 
free. 

There are no "baggage checks," 
though on the Continent receipts are 
given ; but travelers will always do well 
to look after their trunks, especially in 
crossing a frontier, when they must see 
to it that their luggage is examined and 
again put on board the train. In England 



no receipt is given, and passengers 
must pick out their property themselves 
at the end of their journey. 

TIME-TABLES. 

Of railway guides for Great Britain, 
" Bradshaw's " is to be recommended; 
for Germany and neighboring countries, 
the " Reichs-Kursbuch " and " Hen- 
schel's " ; for France, " I'lndicateur 
Chaix" ; for Italy, " I'lndicatore Uf- 
ficiale," and for Switzerland, " Le Guide 
Privat." 

LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS. 

Passengers can have their letters and 
telegrams addressed in care of the 
HAMBURG-AMERICAN PACKET CO. 
in — 

Hamburg, 21 Dovenfleth. 
Berlin, 5 Unter den Linden. 
Frankfort o/m. 14 Kaiser Strasse. 
Dresden, 33 Prager Strasse. 
Munich, 16 Promenade Platz. 
Paris, 3 Rue Scribe. 
Havre, i Place du Commerce. 
London, 22 Cockspur Street, S. "W. 
Southampton, 4 Oriental Place. 
New York, 37 Broadway. 
Chicago, 125 La Salle Street. 

Letters for passengers should be 
plainly addressed, giving the name of 
steamer and whether expected to arrive 
or sail. Passengers expecting letlers 
after departure should leave their ad- 
dress at the Company's offices ; letters 
will then be forwarded to address given. 
To ensure return of letters in case of 
non- delivery, envelopes should be 
plainly marked with sender's name and 
address. 

At all the European offices of the 
Company there are Reading and Writ- 
ing Rooms for passengers, where the 
latest American newspapers are kept on 
file. 

The Berlin office will reserve rooms for 
passengers at any hotel if notified in time. 



— 27 — 
NEW YORK CUSTOMS. 

Customs officers will board the steamer 
upon arrival in the bay of New York. 
Passengers must go before them in turn 
and make their declaration that they have 
only their own personal effects with 
them, and no presents for other persons. 
The number of pieces and description of 
baggage must also be given. When 
baggage is landed, passengers should 
gather it altogether and get a Custom 
House officer to pass it ; he checks it by 
the declaration made on board, and then 
gives a permit. 

See Customs Tariff, pages 55 to 59, 
and Notes on Articles free of duty.

Pay for the Pilots. 

The rates of pilotage from April i st to Novem- 
ber ist are: For inward-bound vessels of be- 
tween 6 and 13 feet, $2.78 per foot ; between 14 
and 17 feet 6 inches, $3.38 per foot ; between 18 
and 20 feet 6 inches, JJ4.13 per foot ; and between 
21 and 28 feet, $4.88 per foot. Outward, it is 
$2.02 between 6 and 13 feet; I2.33 between 14 
and 17 feet 6 inches ; $3.08 between 18 and 20 
feet 6 inches; and $3.56 between 21 and 28 feet. 
Inward-bound vessels also pay off-shore pilot- 
age (25% extra) if thev take a pilot aboard be- 
yond 16 miles from Sandy Hook light, unless 
the pilot waives the off-shore pilotage. If he 
relinquishes the extra pay he must be taken 
aboard ; if not, the commander can refuse his 
services and wait until he reaches the off-shore 
imit. Thus, for a vessel of 25 feet, thfe pilotage 
from Sandy Hook would be $122, and with $30.50 
for off-shore, $152.50. Outward pilotage for the 
same draught vessels would be only $89. During 
the cold weather, or between November and 
April, the sum of $4 is added to the general bill.

The international. Signal Code. 

In order to give one another information at 
sea, a signal code, by means of flags, has been 
devised, which has been adopted by all seafaring 
nations. 

All editions of this code correspond in their 
contents, wrhatever the language may be in 
wrhich they are issued.

FLAGS OF THE SIGNAL CODE FOR MERCHANT VESSELS 

OF ALL NATIONS 



— 37 — 

are employed to represent the signs used. The 
first flag is the signal pennant, the others stand 
for the letters inoicated. One flag alone is used 
only in three cases, viz.: flag C as sign of 
affirmation, flag D-as sign of negation, and 
the signal pennant. The rule is to hoist the 
flags composing the signal, one below the other, 
at the same time and at the same place. 

The eighteen letters, B, C. D, F, G, H, J, K, L, 
M, N, P, Q, R. S, T, V, W, are arranged into 
groups of 2, 3 and 4 letters, making a total of 
78,642 signals. 

Let us suppose the German sailing vessel 
"Europa" meets a Hamburg steamer on the 
Atlantic, and wants to report her name, port of 
departure, destination, and time at sea, so that 
herowners may hearof herthrough the steamer, 
which will reach port so much sooner.

shows at another place Q B K J, then BDPQ, 
then BQGL, and finally V W T (as above); 
meaning that she sailed from London, is bound 
for New York, and has been twelve days at sea. 



TIDES. 



The surface of the ocean rises and falls twice 
in a lunar day of about 24 hours and 52 minutes. 
The tides do not always rise to the same height, 
but every fortnight, after the new and full moon, 
they become much higher than they were in the 
alternate weeks. These high tides are called 
spring tides, and the low ones neap tides. The 
close relation which the times of high-water 
bear to the times of the moon's meridian passage 
shows that the moon's influence in raising the 
tides is much greater than that of thesun. It is, 
in fact, two and a half times as great. 



— 38 — 

WINDS. 

Wind is air in motion. The direction of the 
wind is designated by the point of the compass 
from which it blows. All winds are caused 
directly or indirectly by changes of temperature. 
If two neighboring regions become very unequal 
in temperature from any cause, the air of the 
warmer region, being lighter than the other, will 
ascend and be poured over it from above, while 
the heavier air of the colder region will flow in 
below to supply its place. The rotation of the 
earth alone produces no permanent wind, be- 
cause the atmosphere has the same velocity of 
rotation as that of the portion of the earth upon 
which it rests, but the earth's rotation materi- 
ally modifies the operation of other disturbing 
causes. Since the earth is nearly a spherical 
body, rotating upon its axis once in 24 hours, 
the velocity of rotation of different parallels is 
very different.

HOW CAN A SHIP SAIL FASTER THAN 
THE WIND ? 

Every yachtsman knows that a ship can sail 
faster than the wind ; that is to say, it the wind 
is blowing ten knots an hour, a ship may be 
making twelve or fifteen knots an hour. Now, 
it is obvious that if the ship is sailing straight 
before the wind it cannot, at the utmost, travel 
faster than the wind itself is blowing— as a 
matter of fact, it will travel much more slowly. 
If, on the other hand, the ship is sailing at an 
angle with the wind, it seems at first sight that 
the wind must act with less effect than before, 
but as a matter of fact the ship not only sails 
more quickly than before, but more quickly 
than the wind itself is blowing. 

Let us consider the difficulty in the light of 
the following experiment: Place a ball at one 
side of a buliard-table, and with the cue, not 
held in the ordinary manner but lengthwise, 
from end to end ot the table, shove the ball 
across the cloth. The cue here represents the 
wind, and the ball the ship sailing directly before 
it ; the ball, of course, travels at the same rate as 
the cue. Now, suppose a groove, in which the 
ball may roll, be cut diagonally across the table, 
from one corner pocket to the other. If the ball 
be now placed at one end of the groove, and the 
cue held horizontally, parallel with the long 
sides and moved forward across the width oi 
the table as before, the ball will travel along 
the groove (and along the cue) diagonally across 
the table, in the same time as the cue takes to 
move across the width of the table. This is 
the case of the ship sailing at an angle with the 
direction of the wind. The groove is consider- 
ably longer than the width of the table, more 
than double as long, in fact. The ball, therefore, 
travels much faster than the cue which impels 
it, since it covers more than double the distance 
in the same time. It is in precisely the same 
manner that a tacking ship is enaljled to sail 
faster than the wind.

seconds. Waves having a length of 500-600 
feet and periods of lo-n seconds are ordi- 
nary storm waves. Waves having a greater

yrom 0, clear blue sky, to 10, overcast. 



LATITUDE. 



Latitude is reckoned in degrees (°) @ 60 min- 
utes (') @ 60 seconds ("). There are 90 degrees 
between the equator and the poles. A minute 
of latitude and a mile of latitude are one and the 



LONGITUDE. 

Longitude is also reckoned in degrees @ 60 
minutes @ 60 seconds. There are 360 degrees 
or meridians of longitude ; on most charts the 
meridian of Greenwich, near London, is indi- 
cated as the first meridian, from which 180 are 
counted east and west. When the sun is oppo- 
site a meridian it is noon at that place. It is 
only at the equator that a minute of longitude is 
equal to a nautical mile ; leaving the equator the 
meridians converge, meeting in a point at the 
poles. A ship sailing eastward around the 
globe comes to the meridian earlier each day, 
as her course makes her gain time (shortening 
each day); while if she were sailing to the 
westward, she would lengthen her day ; conse- 
quently, in circumnavigating the globe, one 
whole day is gained in sailing to the eastward 
and lost in sailing to the westward. 



— 42 — 
Reckoning Time from Longitude. 

The earth in its revolution turns on its axis 
from west to east. An entire rotation, or 360°, is 
performed in 24 hours ; 15° of longitude must, 
therefore, be eaual to one hour of time. 

To find the difference in time between two 
places, divide the difference in longitude by 15. 
For instance : 

Longitude of San Francisco 122° 24' 53" 

Longitude of New York 74 00 03 

Difference 48 24 50 

divided by 15=3^ 13m 391^3 ; thus, if it is noon at 
San Francisco it is 3I1 13m 39^8 p.m. in New York. 



Reckoning Longitude from Time. 

A vessel sailing from New Yorfc finds after 
some days that the difference in time with New 
York is ilisim45s. The longitude is determined 
from this by multiplying with 15=27° 56' 15", 
which, deducted from the longitude of New 
York (74° 00' 03"), gives longitude 46° 03' 48".

THE MARINER'S COMPASS. 

The circumference of the compass is divided 
into 4 quadrants and each quadrant into 8 
points, and also into 90° (degrees), so that the 
circumferenct has 32 points and 360° or ii>^° to 
a point. 




The compass needle points to the mag^netic 
poles of the earth, which do not coincide with 
the true poles ; the difference is called variation 
of the compass. The magnetic north pole has 
been reached and is situated in lat. 70° N. and 
lone. 97 W. (The magnetic south pole is under lat. 
70° S. and long. 145° E.) In different parts of the 
world the variation of the needle from the true 
north differs both in quantity and direction, the 
needle inclining in some places to the westward, 
in others to the eastward of the true north ; for 
instance, if we look at a chart of Sandy Hook, 
New York, we will find that the compass drawn 
or* the chart gives 7° 50" of westerly variation 
(=about % point), thus showing that in the lati- 
tude and longitude of Sandy Hook the needle of 
the compass deviates % of a point to the west- 
ward from the true geographical north. 

The following table gives the names of the 
points of the compass, with their equivalents in 
points and degrees, giving; the angle which the 
points make with the meridian.

THE WATCH AS A COMPASS. 

The points of the compass may be determined 
with the aid of an ordinary watch. It is simply 
necessary to brine the watch in a position so 
that the hour hana is directed toward the sun. 
The south then lies exactly midway between 
whatever hour it may happen to be and the 
numeral XII. on the dfial. Let us suppose, tor 
instance, that it is four o'clock, and that the 
timepiece is held in the position indicated The 
direction of the numeral II. will then be the 
exact south. If it be eight o'clock, the numeral 
X will indicate the exact southerly point.

ECLIPTIC AND Declination. 







Pole 



The earth leans toward the right on its axis, 
and its inclination from the perpendicular is 
23° 27' 30". As the earth moves round the sun 
a path is described by the sun passing over the 
earth, and this path, or sun's track, is called 
ecliptic. The ecliptic and the equator are in- 
clined to one another at an angle of 23" 27' 30". 
On March 20th the sun crosses the equator onits 
summer journey to the northern hemisphere, 
and on June 21st it reaches the limit of its 
northern declination, recrossing the equator 
again on September 23d. It continues on its 
southern course until the southern limit of its 
declination is reached, on December 21st. The 
sun's declination is thus continually changing, 
and its exact position must be calculated when 
finding the ship's position by observation. 



TYPES OF SHIPS. 

On the following pages will be found illustra- 
tions of nearly every type of ocean craft tikelv 
to be seen while crossing the Atlantic, which 
will, no doubt, prove an interesting study to 
passengers who are not sufficiently acquainted 
with the different types of ships to be able to 
call them by their proper names.

THE RANGE OF VISION AT SEA. 

The range of vision at sea depends, on ac- 
count of the curvature of the earth, on the height 
of the point of observation and the height of 
the object. The curvature of the earth is about 
8 inches or 0.657 f*- i"^ one mile, and increases 
for the observer as" the squares of the distance 
being in 2 miles (2'-'=) 4x8 in. and in 3 miles 
(32=) 9x8 in., etc., this is somewhat diminished, 
however, by the refraction of the atmosphere 
which tends to make distant objects appear 
higher, and again modified by temperature, 
moisture, etc.

DIVISIONS OF TIME. 

The interval between two consecutive transits 
of a fixed star over any meridian or the interval 
during which the earth makes one absolute rev- 
olution on its axis is called a Sidereal Day ; it 
is invariable and always equal to 23 hours, 56 
min., 4.09 seconds, so that a star will on any 
night appear to set or to pass the range of any 
two fixed objects 3 min., 55.91 seconds earlier 
than the night before. The interval between 
two consecutive transits of the Sun over any 
meridian is called a Solar Day, and its length 
varies from day to day; by reason of the variable 
motion of the earth in its orbit. 

The difference between the Sidereal and the 
Solar Day at any time is the Equation 0/ Time, 
and may amount to 16 minutes and 21 seconds. 
The average length of all the solar days is 
called the mean solar day, and is the same as 
the Civil Day of 24 hours. The Astronomical 
Day begins at noon and the Civil Day at the 
preceding midnight. 

The interval during which the earth makes 
one absolute revolution round the Sun is called 
a Sidereal Year, and consists of 365 days, 6 
hours, 9 minutes and 9.6 seconds, which is in- 
variable. 

The Tropical K^ar is the interval between two 
consecutive returns of the Sun to the Vernal 
Equinox. In consequence of the disturbing 
influence of the moon and planets the Equinox 
has a. slow retrograde mean motion of 50.26", 
annually, so that the Sun returns to the Equinox 
sooner every year than he otherwise would by 
20 minutes, 23.6 seconds; the Tropical Year, 
therefore, consists of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 
minutes and 46 seconds. 

Julius Caesar, in B.C. 45, was the first to reform 
the calendar by ordering that every year whose 
number is exactly divisible by 4 contains 
366 days, and all other years 365 days. The 
Julian Calendar continued in use until a. d. 1582, 
when the date of the beginning of the seasons 
occurred 10 days later than in b. c. 45. 

Pope Gregory XIII. introduced the new cal- 
endar which gives 365 days to every year whose 
number is not divisible by 4 as well as every 
year divisible by 100 but not by 400. All other 
years, namely those whose numbers are divisi- 
ble by 400 and those divisible by 4 and not by 
ICO, have 366 days. The difference between the 
Julian and Gregorian Calendars is now 12 days. 
Russia and Greece still employ the Julian Cal- 
endar. 



THE FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY ERA. 

In September, 1793, the convention decreed 
that the new French era should begin on Septem- 
ber 22, 1792, the day of the true autumnal equi- 
nox. The year was divided into twelve months, 
and each month into three decades of 10 days 
each. In ordinary years there were five extra 
days, from the 17th to the 21st of- our Septem- 
ber, and at the end of every fourth year was a 
sixth complementary day. This reckoning was 
first used on November 22, 1793, 'and was con- 
tinued until December 31, 1805, when it was 
discontinued, and the Gregorian calendar re. 
sumed. The following were the dates for the 
year 1804, the last complete year of this style 
of leckoning; 

Vend^miaire (Vintage), Sept. 23 to Oct. 22. 

Brumaire (Foggy), Oct. 23 to Nov. 22. 

Frimaire (Sleety), Nov. 22 to Dec. 21.

Ventose (Windy), Feb. 20 to Mar. 19. 

Germinal (Budding), Mar. 22 to April 21. 

Flordal (Flowery), April 21 to May 20. 

Prairial (Pasture). May 21 to June 20. 

Messidor (Harvest), June 20 to July 19. 

Thermidor (Hot), July 20 to Aug. 19. 

Fructidor (Fruit), Aug. 19 to Sept. i8. 



The Largest Steamship ever 
Built 

was the Great Eastern, constructed by J. Scott 
Russell & Co., of Millwall-on-Thames, on the 
plans of Engineer Brunei, and launched in 
1858. 

She was built of iron, and her capacity was 
18,915 tons; displacement 32, 160; her length was 
6791^ feet, 691 overall; width, 83 feet; depth, 48 
feet ; her draught when laden, 30 feet. She had 
one direct acting horizontal engine for driving 
the screw, with 4 cylinders, each of 84 inches 
diameter and with 4 feet stroke, 6,000, indi- 
cated horse-power, 6 boilers and 60 furnaces, 
and an oscillating engine for the paddle wheels, 
with 4 cylinders each of 74 inches diameter, 
and i4>^ feet stroke, with 5,000 indicated 
horse-power, 4 boilers and 40 furnaces. The 
pressure of steam was 25 pounds. She had 7 
masts with 6,500 square yards of sails and 
could accommodate 3,000 passengers ; the seat- 
ing capacity of the saloons was 500. Her best 
speed was 13 knots per hour.

I U. S. gold dollar weighs 25.8 grains and con- 
tains 2322 grains of pure gold (24 carat). 

In coining gold dollars ^ of the weight of pure 
gold is added in alloy, but the cost of alloy and 
coinage is borne by the Government, so that 
the value of the gold dollar is that of the 
pure gold it contains. A cubic foot of pure 
gold weighs about 1,204 lbs. avoir, and is 
worth $362,963.00 ; a cubic inch weighs about 
11^*8 ounces avoir, and is worth I210.04. 

Weight of I million dollars in gold coin=3,685''i 
lbs. avoir, or i'^*^ long tons. 

I million dollars in silver coin=59,92867 lbs. 
avoir.=26^°' 'ong tons. 

Coin as Pocket Measure. — A half-dollar is i 
inch in width. A five cent nickel piece is 2 
centimeters in width and weighs 5 grammes. 

In Colonial times all accounts were kept in reals, 
and when the dollar was introduced it was 
called "a piece of eight," 8 reals being equal 
to I dollar. The number of pieces of eight 
was placed between two lines thus, 16 dollars 
and 12 cents, /16/12, but instead of this a can- 
celed 8 was soon placed before the amount in 
dollars, thus, ^16.50, froni which our present 
$ sign evolved.

["The Star Spangled Banner" and "Hail 
Columbia" are often sung at the concerts given 
aboard ship. As many are unfamiliar with the 
words, we print them on the next page.] 



The Star Spangled Banner. 

'h, say, can you see by the dawn's early lis 
What so proudly we hailed at the twiligr 



Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through 
the perilous fight, 
On the ramparts we watched, were so gal- 
lantly streaming. 
And the rocket's red'glare, the bombs bursting 
in air. 
Gave proof through the night that our flag 
was still there ; 
Oh, say, does the star spangled banner yet wave. 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the 
brave? 
On the shore dimly seen, through the mists of 
the deep. 
Where the toe's haughty host in dread silence 
reposes. 
What is that which the breeze o'er the towering 
steep. 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half dis- 
closes ? 
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first 
beam ; 
In full glory reflected, now shines on the 
stream ; 
'Tis the star spangled banner,0,long may it wave, 
O'er the land ot the free and the home of the 
brave. — -Francis Scott Key. 

HAIL Columbia. 

Hail Columbia ! happy land. 
Hail ye heroes ! heaven-born band 
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause. 
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause. 
And, when the storm of war was gone. 
Enjoyed the peace your valor won. 
Let independence be our boast ! 
Ever mindful what it cost. 
Ever grateful for the prize. 
Let its altars reach the skies ! 

Chorus : — Firm, united, let us be 1 

Rallying round our liberty. 
As a band of brothers joined 
Peace and safety we shall find. 
Immortal patriots ! rise once more ; 
Defend your rights, defend your shore. 
Let no rude foe with impious hand- 
Let no rude foe with impious hand 
Invade the shrine where sacred lies 
Of toil and blood the well-earned prize ! 
While offering peace sincere and just. 
In Heaven we place our manly trust 
That truth and justice will prevail 
And every scheme of bondfage fail. 
Chorus.
